L'Enchanteur et la Muse
The Grotto della Sibilla in the Umbrian Mountains which was first mentioned in classical legend. Guerino the Wretch reaches a mountain pass near Norcia in Umbria where he meets with the Devil. The Devil, of course, wants Guerino's soul and tempts him by describing a subterranean kingdom where every delight will be his. Seemingly, in this kingdom, trees flower and fruit at the same time and there is no pain or age or sorrow.

I'm glad to see it's in the form of a labyrinth and not a maze otherwise we'd never reach our destination
The members of the Donkeys' Union would like to express their gratitude for the map. One or two of them have been wandering a bit since the leaf boats landed. I will make sure of their availability to all. The Secretary
Agreed, this is a magic map.
I do have a more detailed version but it has gone all blurry on the scanner so I am leaving this map on-line until I do a new one. It is just as well we are caught in a labyrinth Carol. At first I thought it was a nightmare and I was lost in Ikea, trapped by the giant owl. Now it has all become clear and I can see that we were heading in the right direction when we set off from Duwamish back to the Cave via the Mountains of Myrr. Somehow we all got diverted and ended up at the Hermitage and well, now we are back in Duwamish and will have to walk the Labyrinth to get to the Amazon Queen.
Anyway, that is Koschey's Palace on the left hand side. Just thought I should mention this. Be warned. He is a nasty piece of work and has tried kidnapping some of our numbers. Do not leave your windows open while sleeping.
Maybe we should bundle him off to Ikea and then he can test his own navigating skills! (I love the way you used this as an example - I've been lost in that labyrinth many a time! HA HA)
One thing I love about this realm is that it manifests itself in different ways to travelers. All maps are unique, but the path is one.
